I don't think I would mind if The Christmas Unicorn won the whole tourney. It'd be a cool underdog win for a very personal nomination, much more interesting than the usual big songs winning. And it's a better song than Runaway, which is overrated. Still love both, but The Christmas Unicorn here.

Not going to lie, the thought of Christmas Unicorn winning this is making me laugh 🤣 (well, particularly the title)

It's decent and all, but I don't really think it's a match here.

Christmas Unicorn is a great song, but I prefer Runaway.

I'm not really into Sufjan and was all set to vote for Runaway, a great Kanye song, but I had never heard The Christmas Unicorn before, and it totally took me by surprise how much I enjoyed this by the end. It ended up getting my vote.

Yeah. Of all the Sufjan songs to pick from, this is a really strange choice. I play it a bunch every September and think it's a great Xmas song, but think I need to go with Kanye here.

Too long and too over the top but it was great fun listening to The Christmas Unicorn

My favorite song of the decade is Sufjan's "Impossible Soul," which I wasn't going to nominate for this tourney because it's 26 minutes long. But "The Christmas Unicorn" is very similar to that one in the way it starts off quite and then bursts open into a repetitive chorus. I was still going to go Runaway until it hit the familiar refrain that Exist-en-ciel mentioned, at which point I decided to go Sufjan. Really great song, Runaway is overrated anyway.

My favorite song of the decade is in a duel against THE song of the decade. According to the ranking of RYM, Runaway is the single # 1 of the decade 2010. It's a very good song that I really like.

But,

With Christmas Unicorn, Sufjan Stevens created an Electronic-Indie-Folk-Progressive-Pop-Christmas song that turns around 6:15 into a magnificent crescendo taking up, with voices in heart and in canon, the superb refrain of one of the best songs in history (!) A magnificent tour de force which makes this song one of my favorites among all.

Christmas Unicorn is unlikely to win against Runaway, but it has already won my heart.

Umm.... I think there were better early '10s Sufjan songs to pick from, though it wasn't my favorite era of his. I'll go Runaway this time around.

Another tough match... Evenly matched artists, and despite initial perceptions, evenly matched songs.
